Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An action therapist is focused on changing maladaptive behaviors by using techniques such as behavior modification or cognitive-behavioral therapy. This approach is focused on working with the client to develop specific goals and then taking action to achieve those goals. The other options (insight, biomedical, and relationship therapies) do not necessarily focus primarily on changing maladaptive behavior. Insight therapy focuses on gaining insight into underlying psychological issues, biomedical therapy focuses on using medication to address symptoms, and relationship therapy focuses on improving relationships with others.
